Apparently the storage place will give me 10 free boxes DD Then I can finally start packing (kind of). Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Reflections 436Jan 02, 2017 5:19 pm For our house it's like $5k for roller blinds for our 13 windows not including the panel glider blinds for the corner stackers too Is the storage unit for all the new furniture you have acquired? Yay for packing GJ Gardner Modified Coolum 277 viewtopic.php?t=83643 Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Reflections 437Jan 02, 2017 5:31 pm That doesn't seem too bad a price, but still a lot. I was quoted 7.5k for blinds throughout and curtains for the back windows from one place. I just about died when I got the quote. It didn't even include the shutters I want for the front room. I might be able to go to Wynstan tomorrow and get a quote, shall have to wait and see how I go for time. Yup. Will just be the bedroom suite and TV unit in there, plus some boxes. 10 boxes should be more then enough for me to do all my packing, originally wasn't planning to use boxes. A lot of things (appliances and such) are already in boxes... but things I'm not using can go to the storage unit for the time being. Not long to go now!!! (exciteeeeed) Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Reflections 438Jan 02, 2017 5:44 pm Boxes! Did someone say boxes? Argh! Boxes everywhere on my place at the moment... This is just some of them - 13 boxes here alone... full of books & craft stuff Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ View thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=83776&start=80 Building SOR with Dreamstart Homes Customised Dream Dior/Summer Sensation https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=83776 Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Reflections 439Jan 02, 2017 5:55 pm Hehe! That's a lot of boxes. I planned to just move things in my car, so wasn't planning to use boxes really. I didn't use them when I moved to my apartment, but a couple would make things easier. I have got rid of a lot of stuff since I moved into my apartment. I had to move 300+ books.. that was the worst!! Now I only own about 20 books XD. The good thing is, with the storage unit.. I can box things up and drop them off at the storage unit over the next few weeks.. will help clear out a lot of the stuff around the house. I am planning to leave behind a lot of my stuff for my parents (hehehe...) they are planning to do a garage sale after I move out anyways, so they will sell off what they don't want to keep for themselves. Boxes are hiding everyone (under the bed is full of boxes... and TV box is hiding in the back corner). There's also some boxes and luggage hiding in a hall closet, under the spare bed..and potentially there's a man size pile of appliances in the middle of the hall XD There's a cat scratching post under my desk... Mhm, probably time to starting packing Re: {dawn} Custom 3bdr /16sq home - Reflections 440Jan 03, 2017 2:37 pm Feeling supremely stressed ;-; Got the storage unit.. cost $600 for 3 months There goes all the savings I made on choosing my furniture. At least everything is tucked away in the unit now and I got some boxes to pack. Then I went to pick out a fabric colour for my couch, not sure of my choice... but when I tried to pay off the couch, was some confusion over the total invoice price.. *sigh* I just wish I'd never got started on any of this stuff now. Have also sent emails to two blind companies for quotes... and then dad says "oh we could install them" *facepalm* that's not what he said earlier.. Running out of funds and not getting any more progress on the big items. I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15439 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this? I am in SA 8 17191 Depends what you're current inclusions are, but we're not including wardrobes and will just use second hand ones until we can save later on to get them built. Also have a… 3 11822 |
